What's the simplest way of running unrar manually from the CLI on rar files on the array?

 

I'm on 6b6 and have sabnzbd, couchpotato, and sickBeard, so I know the binaries are in there...

 

I tried installing unrar from unrar labs and it seemed to work but I can't get it to run from either /usr/local/bin or /boot/config/scripts/bin (my own making) even with absolutes paths.

 

Thanks!

 

6b6 with PhAzE's sab/sick/couch here, and typing unrar at the command line works fine. I didn't install anything extra for unrar.

 

What happens when you type unrar all by itself? Mine shows unrar version 5.01 freeware.

 

Linux 3.15.0-unRAID.
root@Tower:~# unrar
-bash: /usr/local/bin/unrar: cannot execute binary file
root@Tower:~# /usr/local/bin/unrar
-bash: /usr/local/bin/unrar: cannot execute binary file
root@Tower:~# ls -la /usr/local/bin/unrar
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 205328 Aug 17 18:25 /usr/local/bin/unrar*

 

That bin directory is on my $PATH

root@Tower:~# echo $PATH
.:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

 

 

My install of cp/sab/sb is from needo. 

 

Don't know how much help this is, but unrar is located at /usr/bin on my system. I assume it's installed from this archive http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware64-14.1/system/unrar/5.0.14/unrar-5.0.14-x86_64-1sl.txz which is called out in this sabnzbd plugin from PhAzE.

That did it!  I installed unrar from the slacky.eu repository in /boot/config/scripts/bin and it works fine.  I suspect I had a non-slackware compatible version.  Someday I'll figure out how to add this to my go file or $PATH.

 

Thanks very much!

Just copy the tzx file into the /boot/extra folder, and it will automatically be installed on reboot. Just remember you did it, so if you have a conflict later you don't end up chasing your tail trying to find it.
